Recall notice 23V651000 issued September 22, 2023 has not been addressed and has no apparent remedy yet. I have grown impatient as I am sick and tired of parking my car outside as recommended. It's Ohio here for heavens sake!! Please help inspire Hyundai to get moving on this.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
UNKNOWN. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction regarding Hyundai Motor America. They have told us our car is subject to catching fire and not to park in in our garage or near other dwellings. We have contacted them numerous times and they keep pushing off a date for repair. Now they say, “maybe June.” Isn’t there a timeline for this? For a car to catch fire, 8 months seems excessive to me. The Consumer Protection Division of the NHTSA has indicated that I should contact you to let you know that I wish to continue this case. The information they gave me is below: Re: Hyundai Motor America****** File No: [XXX] Thank you for your help.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
We experienced engine failure of a 2013 Hyundai Tucson on 2/20/24. There were no warning lights displayed on the instrument panel. There was an unidentified noise and a loss of power/compression. We are in the process of learning the difference between a Service Campaign and a Recall Notification and I can’t say we understand it yet. We were not notified nor aware of potential engine failure issues. The research we’ve been able to obtain regarding Service Campaign 966 (“SC966”) appears to exclude the 2013 Tucson model unless it has a Theta II engine. The service department at Dick Smith Hyundai stated that if we would have had our car serviced at the dealership, we would have been informed of SC966. As we are the second owner of an eleven-year-old vehicle, we do not typically have it serviced at a dealership. Oddly enough, we received a notification regarding the knock sensor on 3/18/24 almost one month after we contacted Hyundai Customer Support and after the vehicle was towed to Dick Smith dealership and we spoke with the service department. We have been informed by the local dealership (Dick Smith Hyundai service department) that it is unlikely that the engine will be replaced under the Hyundai Class Action Lawsuit, or any open Recalls and it will be 2-4 months before a decision is rendered regarding the matter. We are also being charged a diagnostic fee for their services of approximately $200.00. Regardless of the recall coverage, our experience with this vehicle engine seems to mimic the exact same symptoms and issues as the Make/Models that are included in the published Recall notice by Kia/Hyundai, and we would like to make this known to protect other consumers and to see if there is any recourse and/or assistance for us.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am writing to express my serious concern regarding a safety issue with my Hyundai vehicle, and the apparent lack of resolution from Hyundai despite repeated attempts to seek assistance. Last year, I received a notification from Hyundai about a critical safety issue concerning the EMERGENCY FIRE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ("ABS") MODULES, which could potentially leak brake fluid internally and lead to an electrical short over time. This electrical short poses a significant risk of engine compartment fires, both while the vehicle is parked and during operation. Naturally, upon receiving this alarming notice, I expected Hyundai to promptly address and rectify this potentially life-threatening issue. Unfortunately, my concerns have only heightened as my local mechanic recently discovered a leakage in my vehicle, which aligns with the exact problem outlined in the aforementioned notification. This discovery has left me deeply troubled and anxious about the safety of my vehicle and the potential risks it poses to my well-being and that of others on the road. Despite my numerous attempts to seek assistance and resolution from Hyundai, I have encountered nothing but frustration and disappointment. Every time I reach out to Hyundai's customer service, I am met with vague responses and reassurances that they are unable to provide a solution to the problem. This lack of urgency and accountability on Hyundai's part is unacceptable, especially considering the gravity of the safety issue at hand.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Rear passenger door not opening even with door lock in the unlocked position. Child lock was is not activated. I've seen multiple Hyundai fourms regarding this. With door unable to open, presents a safety risk in an accident if the other doors become unoperable. My Hyundai service department has acknowledged the issue, but will not fix without charging.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the front driver’s side window failed to operate as intended.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was referred to a local dealer to have a diagnostic test performed. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V651000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to the recall. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
